As a Mare Island resident and business owner, I was happy to see the historic first delivery of Amtrak passenger rail cars arrive across Wichel’s Causeway to be refurbished at the new Alstom facility. Alstom, based in France, has a 2-year contract to upgrade passenger cars door systems at the 112,000 sq. ft. of office and manufacturing space in Building 599, one of Mare Island’s largest structures.
